While sportspeople that dope find new methods to avoid detection, anti-doping agencies introduce new tools in order to catch those that take banned medicines. One of new techniques elaborated into anti-doping system is biological passport. It helps to set whether a sportsperson has applied any banned substance. The biological passport measures some biomarkers which can indicate whether an individual has applied certain substances. Thus, it can measure hemoglobin levels. Unexplained decreased or high hemoglobin levels may indicate doping. So, the biological passport defines physical changes which play great role in detection.
It is clear that anti-doping policy becomes more advanced. It creates new techniques to catch dopers and clean sports.
If you compare drug tests that have been used earlier with those which are applied nowadays, you can understand that the difference is significant. Anti-doping efforts are great. Drug testing becomes more advanced.
It was also elaborated a test for detection of CERA. This preparation was initially developed in order to cure anemia related to kidney dysfunctions. Since earlier there was not any drug test that could determine metabolites of this substance, Rashid Ramzi of Bahrain could avoid detection at the Beijing Olympics. Recently his sample was re-tested by this new test. Anti-doping officers determined that this sportsman had administered CERA. As a result, Rashid Ramzi forfeited his awards.
Earlier it was hard and even quite impossible to catch those that applied HGH. Recently a blood test for this product was also introduced.
Another new drug test, known as Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry, was also lately elaborated. This test helps to set whether testosterone has been applied from outsides or it has been produced in the body naturally.
So, anti-doping system is more sophisticated nowadays. Anti-doping officials suppose that they will be able to make sports free from intake of performance-enhancing drugs.
